About Andrew
Andrew Breen is a licensed social worker in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. He offers direct, down-to-earth support for concerns like parenting strain, addiction, trauma, grief, and major life changes. Andrew draws on 13 years of clinical experience to assist people trying to make sense of difficult moments and move forward.
He believes clients know their own stories and brings a practical stance to therapy.
How Andrew works
Sessions focus on building strengths, improving day-to-day coping, and setting small, manageable goals. Conversations are plainspoken and goal-oriented so progress feels tangible. Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and patterns that cause distress.
He works with issues ranging from attention challenges and impulsivity to relationship problems and career strain. He also supports people dealing with adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and isolation. People meet with him for help after loss, after trauma, or when life transitions become overwhelming.
He also assists those facing addiction, domestic violence impacts, and anger or compassion fatigue. The work often mixes practical coping tools with longer-term attention to patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions are offered in English and provided online through video, phone, chat, or text.
Andrew holds an LMSW, which is a Licensed Master Social Worker, and uses his years of practice to tailor plans to each person’s needs.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online care
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach teaches skills for managing thoughts and behaviors so anxiety and low mood feel more manageable; it helps with worry, low motivation, and daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes building coping strategies and short-term goals to handle crises, cravings, or overwhelming emotions, which can be useful for addiction, anger, or burnout. A third focus is on exploring patterns in relationships and attachment to reduce repeated conflict and isolation.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to what matters most, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to find methods that match goals and preferences rather than assuming one fixed plan.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide quick check-ins and shorter updates. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and keep momentum toward goals.
